If you insist on lying you need to get your story straight. How can
you be at work when you recently told us your sold your business?

I'm sorry Frank. Really. Your problem is you're such a idiot it is too
easy to point out what a fool you are.

The ATI Catalyst Control Panel rates among the worst utilities ever, and has
caused sporadic problems on and off since it first appeared..

You stupid ignorant fukk! Have bubba google for you, you drunken pile of

You should be, or maybe it's the dementia you're suffering from.

Really.

Yeah really! Get some medical help. You do have medical insurance right?
If not maybe the State of Illinois can help.

Your problem is you're such a idiot it is too

Google makes a complete and utter fool out of you. You are insane...as
we all know.

So, you're saying the fault lies with a 3rd party bit of software and not
Microsoft as the OP's statement "Please, stop the crap and do some work to
improve stability!" implied?

It's a good thing that I don't know this, because I am not having any
problems with it. Using it under XP though...

I've been running dual displays with ATI Radeon 2600XT with no problems in Vista.

Which version? Take a look at your event logs.

1.2.2475.36837, "ATI CATALYST® Control Center is a Microsoft® .NET
Framework-based application and uses DirectSkinTM OCX skinning technology
from Stardock® Corp. Microsoft .NET Framework Version 2.0.50727.1433."

Nothing interesting in the event logs.

The Control Center takes forever to launch though. I assumed that this was
because it was a .NET Framework application. I am using it on my Dell
Inspiron 1501 to make an external monitor the main one when I have the
machine docked on my desk. Is there a better way to do this?
